5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest guitarist who ever lived in early form, April 25 2004

This review is from: V1 1927-1939: Hmv Recordings (Audio CD)

Folks, most of these recordings are from before my mother was born (and she was "born a long long time ago" -Beatles) and the sound quality is not equal to what my spoiled ears are used to. But I assure you, these are recordings of the finest classical guitar music ever performed. I've heard many of the late Segovia's recordings, earlier and later in his life, the latter are more mature and crystal clear, measured and beautifully precise. It is however, the roughness and raw power of genious that is captured here, like the birth of a supernova, here is where Segovia's dubbing "the poet of the classical guitar" truely explains itself. But who doesn't know about the greatest maestro this world will ever know? What CD would you keep with you if it was the last one and only one you could ever own?

This review is from: V1 1927-1939: Hmv Recordings (Audio CD)

This is the best classical guitar CD I've ever heard. I think the old recording adds to its greatness. Segovia demonstrated who he is to become. I have been playing for the last 17 yrs & heard other guitarists play the pieces on this CD. Listning to Segovia palying them is just like hearing them for the 1st time. No one compares to him. It is a true classic.
